After the live broadcast, the fourth elder brother changed to take the group favorite script

"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, the elder brother Yinti is upright..."

Just after the 36th year of Kangxi, at the first court meeting after the year, Kangxi began to entrust the princes.The oldest elder brother was directly named the king of the county, with the title of Zhi; the third elder brother was named the king of Cheng.These two people have made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty over the years, especially the elder brother. The surrounding small countries and tribes fought in the South and North Wars are as quiet as chickens, and dare not oppose the Qing Dynasty.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was named Baylor behind the third elder brother by one year.In order to express his love for the fourth elder brother, Kangxi gave him a title of Yong.Everyone called him Sibaile or Yongbaile.

Interestingly, the fifth, sixth, and eighth elder brothers after the fourth elder brother were named Baylor, and the seventh elder brother who was caught in the middle was named Beizi instead.Originally, it was the only one in the Qing Dynasty to be conferred before the wedding. The seventh elder brother's entrustment was not low, and he couldn't hold back the eighth elder brother who was behind him for an extraordinary promotion, so the seventh elder brother was revealed.

The prince rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and he explained to the seventh elder brother: "Seventh brother, don't take it to your heart about this Jinfeng, I have mentioned it to Huang Ama alone, and when you get married, you will be married soon." If you have two performances, you will be promoted to Baylor. You don’t need to pay attention to those people, if they dare to talk behind their backs, Gu will definitely not let them go.”

Everyone knew the purpose of the emperor's move. He was deliberately flattering the eighth elder brother, but instead, he cried the seventh elder brother who was stuck in the middle.He is the only unmarried Huang elder brother in front of the eighth elder brother, and because he has not yet married, he only followed the previous early dynasty and never participated in political affairs.

If you don't participate in politics, how can you make contributions? If you don't have an inch of merit, you can't be promoted.

Seventh elder brother smiled freely, "Second brother filtered it, but the shellfish is actually quite good. My younger brother didn't do anything, even holding a shellfish feels hot. If I give it to Baylor, I should be nervous."

Er Niang was not favored, and he was born with a handicap in his legs. Seventh elder brother has always seen it very clearly.As for other people's strange eyes, it has been rare since he was born?Yinyou has long been used to all this.

Yin Zuo murmured, "If I say Huang Ama is just worrying too much, everyone knows that the old Qi has bad legs, you just give him a prince, and everyone knows that he can't be the emperor, so why suppress it."

The fourth elder brother coughed hard, and seeing Yin Zuo silenced, he shook his head helplessly, this old sixth dared to say anything without closing his mouth.He didn't want Lao Qi's legs to be like that. Isn't Lao Liu poking someone's foot in front of him?And Huang Ama, who can say bad things about Huang Ama?It's true that the bigger the mouth, the more open-mouthed it is.

Brother Seven was also a little embarrassed. He knew that Brother Six had no bad intentions, so he explained it seriously afterwards. "Actually, I think this is pretty good. I don't have much achievements, and my background is not as good as that of the fifth brother. If I also get a Baylor, others will also make irresponsible remarks."

He is now a beggar, and what others talk about behind his back will at most say that he is not favored and that the emperor does not want to see him.If he gets Baylor, he can think of what others will say.

Hugging the thigh is not the same, virtue does not match, and so on.

Instead of this, he thinks it's better to be Bei Zi, at least when he rises in the future, others won't say that he has taken advantage of so and so.He can go up step by step by himself.

Hugging Seventh Brother vigorously, Fourth Brother said: "Seventh Brother is a sensible person, you are very happy to think of Fourth Brother in this way."

Hearing the praise from the fourth elder brother, the seventh elder brother smiled shyly and blushed in embarrassment.

Yinzhen comforted: "Brother Seven still has a baby at least, and I didn't catch anything."

At any rate, he also produced cement and made contributions to Daqing. He thought that Huang Ama Jinfeng would be interested, and he didn't ask too much, just give him a baby.Unexpectedly, Huang Ama didn't say anything, and it was over like this.

The fifth elder brother smiled gently, "Who made you so hot all day long, Huang Ama was afraid of your publicity, and deliberately suppressed you." The fifth elder brother knew about the Jin Feng a long time ago. Ma even went to tell Er Niang about it.

Although Lao Jiu has not yet married and participated in the government, he has also made contributions to the Qing Dynasty. It stands to reason that he should give a son.It's just that he is still young, Huang Ama is afraid that he will show off, so he suppresses this reward.Although Lao Jiu was not knighted, the emperor also gave him an extra salary, which was regarded as recognition.

Brother Jiu curled his lips, Huang Ama just thought too much, he is that kind of person.Besides, even if he sneered a bit, so what, what he exchanged for with his ability can't be smug?

Brother Eleven suddenly said: "It's not easy for Seventh Brother to make meritorious service. I often hear Ninth Brother complain that Jiangnan Bing is not sold properly. Why don't Seventh Brother go to investigate this year? If you make meritorious service, you will be worried that Emperor Ama will not promote you. "

The elder brothers are all knighted, and it would be a lie to say that they are not envious, but elder brother eleven also knows that he is young, and this time he must not be able to turn himself in.He didn't mean to run on Seventh Brother by saying this, he was sincerely suggesting.

During this period of time, he had a much better relationship with Brother Nine. Brother Nine was a money fanatic. Seeing the account book Jiang Nan sent up, he either sulked at himself or complained to the old ten. He naturally remembered it after hearing it a lot.He still remembered that Lao Jiu said that sooner or later the Cao family would be turned upside down.

Seventh brother is already with the prince, the Cao family can be said to belong to mynah now, he thinks this is a good opportunity.

Yinzhen knocked him on the head, and he rolled his eyes, "I know you don't know the way of it when you say this, so Cao Yin is a good idiot, I can see all the fake accounts he made. There is no clue, let alone Seventh Brother. If you let him go, you will not only return in vain, but also offend the Cao family, and you might be beaten by Cao Yin. Isn’t this just looking for trouble for Seventh Brother?"

Brother Jiu didn't mean anything else when he said this. He had read the booklet Cao Yin sent, and he really couldn't see any flaws from it.Cao Yin is very smart, and Brother Jiu has never suspected that he cheated the emperor by making false accounts.He felt that if the Cao family was greedy, they were greedy from the root.To put it bluntly, it is to make saltpeter to make ice.

For others, saltpeter is more difficult, but for the Cao family who controls the lifeline of Jiangnan, it is very simple.

In this way, they not only made money by themselves, but also did not have to worry about the emperor's inspection.It's much better than the point of skipping the royal family.

The prince said: "Lao Jiu is right. I have studied all the dossiers in Jiangnan with my eldest brother and third brother, and found that the production of fire and utensils in Jiangnan has consumed a lot in recent years, nearly [-]% more than in previous years. I I suspect that Cao Yin used this to make ice and sell it."

The manufacture of fire and utensils is inseparable from saltpeter, and it has a certain probability of failure, so it is easy to fake.

Of course, this is just their suspicion, and no strong evidence has been found yet.

The fourth elder brother suddenly said something wrong, "Second brother, I remember Huang Ama has been worried about the Jiangnan imperial examination, why don't I go to invigilate the next imperial examination with my third brother?"

The imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty are divided into Qiu Wei and Chun Wei, which are held every three years. The last Qiu Wei was in the 35th year of Kangxi, and the Chun Wei was in the early 36th year; then the next Qiu Wei will be in September next year.Just now when they talked about the Cao family and Jiangnan, the live broadcast room was talking about the Jiangnan imperial examination. He also remembered Huang Ama once said that someone sued Jiangnan for cheating in the imperial examination.

Yinzhen felt that this was an opportunity, knowing that they were going to supervise the Jiangnan scientific research, but in fact they came to Cao's house.If you do mental calculations but don't care, you may really be able to discover the secrets of the Cao family.

Yin Zuo was eager to try, "By the way, I also brought the Jiangnan examination room."

Huang Ama sealed the old eighth Baylor on the front foot, and he asked the Cao family to be the side Fujin on the back foot.Lao Ba really thought that everyone didn't know what he was paying attention to.

Now that Guo Luoluo's infertility is no secret, the status of Chuan Fujin and the eldest son is very important.

Every time the top two in the imperial examination are mostly people from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan will account for at least one of the top three, the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua each time.Cao's family has a detached status in the south of the Yangtze River. It is rumored that Cao Yin likes talents very much. Every year in the rural examination, he invites many young talents to visit the mansion.These people are not in vain, according to the survey, more than half of the talented people he invited can pass the general examination, and even a few of them will be ranked second in the final palace examination.

Cao Yinjian is in the emperor's heart, and these talents are contacts.What's more, before the imperial decree of Huang Ama's promotion came down, the Cao family had already prepared the post, and as soon as the imperial decree arrived, they could invite these people over for a drink in the name of celebration.

When he had nothing to do, he made a summary of the Jiangnan people in Beijing, and found that there were as many as 30 to [-] people, large and small, most of whom were in the Imperial Academy, and the highest-ranking people lived in the third rank.

The so-called Jiangning weaving is not only in charge of royal business and tribute, he also works part-time as the emperor's eyes and ears.Whenever there is something in the south of the Yangtze River, Cao Yin has the right to report it to the court.But they had never heard of Jiangnan's fraud.

If it is found out, Cao Yin will definitely not be able to run away if he neglects his duty.

In the past, Huang Ama trusted him because he had nothing to do with the royal family, but now it is different, his daughter is the eighth elder brother, Fang Fujin, so Huang Ama would be surprised without thinking about it.

The third elder brother rubbed his chin in thought, and said for a moment: "I think if we want to find out about this matter, we must divide it into two parts." If it wasn't for some candidates who risked their lives to sue for impeachment, they would not have known about it.

He was sure that as long as Huang Ama ordered them to investigate, Jiangnan would receive the news before they left Beijing.It will take more than a month for them to travel to the south of the Yangtze River, and the daylily will be cold by then, so they will definitely not be able to find anything.

Yin Zuo had a smirk on his face, "Tell me, how about we let Lao Ba do this by himself?" Seeing that everyone looked at him, he waved for everyone to gather around, "Let Lao Ba check the Jiangnan imperial examinations on the bright side. , let’s send someone there secretly.” If the result of the investigation is the same, Lao Ba must have offended all the students in Jiangnan; good.

It's a feat.

The third elder brother looked at the sixth elder brother in surprise, "Old sixth, yes."

【I will say the following words for the third elder brother: It is really my true story. 】

[Sure enough, I'm not afraid that the villain is too bad, but I'm afraid that the villain has brains. 】

The Sixth Brother is really thankless, and they are also very curious, if the Eighth Brother is really given this job, how will he choose.

The elder brothers changed their previous style and began to confront the eight elder brothers in the court.Either I will read your copy today, or he will play me a copy tomorrow. The two sides have exchanges with each other, and they can't talk about it for a while.

The prince's side is mainly Suo'etu. Over the years, Suo'etu has done a lot of things in the name of the prince, and he has also won many contacts for the prince.The eighth elder brother started with Suo'etu and sued him for accepting bribes and selling officials.

What about Eighth Brother?In order to accumulate connections, he never refuses anyone who comes to him, regardless of whether the person's official position or character is good or bad, he takes them all into his pocket.And among these people, there are more people of bad quality than Suo'etu.

The prince on Suo'etu's side has a good reputation, he is very picky, and many people are brushed off by him.The eighth elder brother made a generous move, but he didn't want Suo'ertu's eyes to be higher than the top, which just happened to let this group of people see the dawn.

In just a few years, the two sides have reached a balance.

The one who is really cheap is actually Kangxi, and what they show is strong evidence, and Kangxi dares to take advantage of the situation to deal with these people.After they reacted, they realized that the court had been wiped out a lot, and both sides suffered damage.

Suo'etu is not afraid of the loss of personnel. If he can use these people to pull the eighth prince down, it will still be a big profit for him.So he still clung to the eighth brother tightly.The eighth elder brother flinched a little, without him, there is no strong support from the mother clan behind him, and the only ones he can rely on now are the Anjun Palace, the Tong family and the Cao family.Among them, the Cao family supported the most money, and the Cao family was also the most favored.

But no matter how much money the Cao family had, it was not enough for him to spend.What Suo'etu bit off was real gold and silver.

Just when the eighth elder brother was about to back down, the prince and others saw the right moment, and the third elder brother took the lead in writing the scripture.

"Huang Ama, this year is the year of the imperial examinations again, and my son is requesting to go to Jiangnan to investigate the Jiangnan imperial examination."

The third elder brother's influence among literati is the best among the many emperor elder brothers, even the eighth elder brother is not as good as him.It is best for him to do this.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but no one thought that the third elder brother would suddenly mention this matter.It has been two or three years since the last complaint, and the emperor has never heard of this matter before, so they thought it was nothing.

A student who was admitted from Jiangnan said: "Your Majesty Cheng, the previous incident has been proven to be a false accusation. I don't understand why I should investigate? I come from Jiangnan. There are many students in Jiangnan. Some people have good grades on weekdays. It doesn’t mean that they will be equally good in the exam. Those students who failed the exam due to nervousness, poor rest, etc., I have seen too many students.”

The third elder brother smiled at him, "The previous incident was full of turmoil. This king just felt that it was necessary to give an explanation to the people, so as not to misunderstand everyone, thinking that my Qing Dynasty does not value students and encourages some unhealthy tendencies. Furthermore, My king has always yearned for Jiangnan, and I really want to discuss and exchange with all the students. The triennial imperial examinations gather the top talents in the Qing Dynasty, and it is really a blessing to argue with such talents."

He spread his hands, "I have visited the Jingzhong Study Book so many times, I am already tired of shopping. Maybe I can find some rare copies in Jiangnan." He said with a helpless expression, which made many people laugh.

Marhui even said: "It is said that King Cheng is addicted to books, and this king has seen it today. Congratulations, Mr. Peng."

Peng Chun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but said nothing.Prince An's mansion is really inferior from generation to generation. If Marhui had half the ability of his Ama, he would not be found by the emperor to be demoted to the county king.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Anjun Prince's Mansion was already on the emperor's blacklist, and he was just waiting to find an opening to kill him with one blow. He didn't tell the truth, and he was still jumping around behind the eighth elder brother.

Hmph, he admitted that for some reason in the early years, he didn't pay much attention to the poems and books of the Han people, but so what?His Dong'e clan still defended the country for the emperor to expand the territory.What's more, he just didn't care, and he didn't forbid Fuzhong Erlang to learn things from the Han people. Among other things, his daughter is a good example.

Every time the third elder brother went to the Duke's mansion, he wouldn't talk to him. Weng and his son-in-law got along very well, and Marhui sneered.

After thinking about it, Peng Chun drooped his eyelids and said, "King An, instead of caring about the old man, it's better to think about your own family. Let's not talk about anything else, at least you have to teach the rules, even if you don't plan to take care of me. How noble they have been cultivated, you should know how to deal with people in general."

"The old man got acquainted with Yue Le anyway, and I'm really afraid that he will jump out of the coffin one day."

Peng Chun's words were a bit cruel, and many people laughed out loud, even Kangxi was no exception.As we all know, the princesses from the Prince's Mansion in Anjun are almost as temperamental as Guo Luoluo's when they are favored.Before, there was a Guo Luoluo family standing in front of her, and no one realized that the girl in his house was of such virtue. After Guo Luoluo's family calmed down in the past two years, they realized that they had wronged Marhui before.

It's not that they deliberately raised Guo Luoluo's family, but that they really don't know how to teach girls.Although those girls are not as arrogant as Guo Luoluosi, the arrogance in their eyes is [-]% like it.He has always looked sideways at those whose status is lower than his own, and flattered and flattered those whose status was higher than his own.

"Master Peng is right. Gu also thinks that the rules of Anjun Prince's Mansion should be taken seriously. Not to mention that you are a clan, the rules are not easy to lose the face of the royal family, but the relationship between you and the eighth younger brother is like this in the mansion. You guys, how embarrassing are you for my eighth brother. If you get married in the future and send such a girl there, those who don’t know will think that you are intentionally enmity with them.”

The prince's casual words made Marhui's eyes red in anger.He wanted to say something, but Kangxi suddenly said, "My dear friends, what do you think of what King Chengjun said?"

Kangxi was eccentric and blatant, and brought the previous confrontation to the past with one sentence, and Tuliu Marhui stood there blushing.

The eighth elder brother is good at observing words and expressions, he didn't care about the lawsuit between Marhui and Peng Chun at all, but has been observing the emperor.When Kangxi opened his mouth, he knew that the emperor agreed with this matter.

Thinking carefully about this matter is also an opportunity for myself.If it works well, he may not be unable to benefit from it.

Thinking of this, he stood up, "Huang Ama, I agree with the third brother's opinion. I am not talented, so I recommend myself to go there." Jiangnan has a vast area, and a Chengjun King will definitely not be able to control it. What he wants is one of them. The most prosperous area——Jiangning.

In addition to the imperial examination, he also planned to go to Jiangning to meet Cao Yin. There were some things he needed to talk to Cao Yin in person.

Who would have thought that it took only a moment for Eighth Prince to think so much.

Yinzuo sneered softly: "Old Ba, you really know how to take advantage. The matter was brought up by the third brother. It hasn't been settled yet. You just want to get a share of the pie. I said you have to get involved in everything. When will my faults be corrected?"

This is the strategy they discussed before, the third elder brother will sing the red face, and the sixth elder brother will sing the bad face.The two fought to get Lao Ba to be roasted on the stake.

The reason why the sixth elder brother was chosen to stand out is also because he has always been like this. Everyone has long been used to him confronting the old eight, so it is not awkward for him to say these words.

The gloom in Yinhu's eyes flashed, and he continued with the corner of his mouth hooked: "Sixth brother misunderstood, I didn't mean to take credit from third brother. I mean, there are so many provinces and cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and third brother can't supervise alone Come on, I can also help the third brother. If the sixth brother is afraid that I will take the credit of the third brother, I can respect the third brother and let the third brother choose first."

What the eighth elder brother said was righteous, and the third elder brother only looked at him with a half-smile.

Yin Zuo was still eccentric, "Although Jiangnan is a land of talents, why can only people with literary talents be used as invigilators? I think it is completely possible to find someone who is not interested in students. Will try."

Coincidentally, when he said this, his eyes glanced at the Jiangnan official who spoke just now. The official's face was dark, and he was on the spot on the grounds that the sixth elder brother insulted him.

Yinhu's face darkened, "Sixth brother, you look down on me, you can treat me whatever you want, why should you be so vicious to others. If you hurt other people's lives because of me, Yinhu will definitely die."

"Old Ba, don't give me too much credit. What did I say? He is not the only student from Jiangnan present. No one else has anything to say, but he just popped up and wanted to die. I think this is very telling." Yin Zuo is not afraid at all, he not only does not reflect on himself, but also adds fuel to the fire.

Seeing that the trouble was going on endlessly, Kangxi said: "Enough is enough for Yinzuo." He also has a headache for this son, and he doesn't care about the occasion when making troubles.

"Since everyone thinks that the matter in Jiangnan is feasible, let's talk about who and where it is appropriate to go?"

He actually knows who to recommend, but Zuo will choose one between the eighth and the third, oh maybe he will also add the prince.Suo'etu definitely hoped that the prince would go in person for such a matter of earning fame.

The matter was similar to what he thought, but after the next court, the eighth elder brother came to him alone again. "Huang Ama, Mrs. Cao has been in the palace for many years and has never seen her relatives. I want to go to Jiangning this time and take Mrs. Cao along so that she can meet her family."

Kangxi's writing hand paused for a moment, and then continued as if nothing had happened.After he finished writing, he put down his pen and said, "You are kind to Mrs. Cao." His face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he agreed or satirized when he said this.

Yinhu was a little uneasy, but thinking about his own purpose, he still said: "I have been raised under Hui Erniang's lap since I was a child, and I always feel that I owe Erniang. I was ignorant when I was young, so I went to ask Erniang why she couldn't raise her. Me." Speaking of this, he smiled desolately, "I heard that the Cao family is also Mrs. Cao's favorite jewel, and my servant also heard that the maid said that she often sat by the bed and looked at the south, so I just felt touched."

It is true that Cao Shi misses his family, and it is true that he wants to take the opportunity to go to Jiangning.Cao Yin's position is special, if he is not recruited by the Holy Master, he cannot enter the capital, let alone go to the harem to meet Cao.Counting from the time when Mrs. Cao entered Beijing, she hadn't seen her relatives for several years.
